On Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 September, Central London Alliance is attempting to set a new world record for the largest CPR relay ever attempted. Every participant must be CPR-trained - so even if we fall short of the record, thousands of people will walk away with a skill that could save a life.
This is Central London Alliance's mission: to make CPR knowledge as common as knowing your own phone number, and to bring workers, organisations and communities across Central London together around something that genuinely matters.
Every three minutes, someone in the UK dies from a cardiac arrest. Fewer than 1 in 10 survive when it happens outside a hospital. But one simple action changes everything: if a bystander performs CPR within two minutes, survival chances rise by 81% - and the risk of serious brain damage drops by 95%.
Cardiac arrest doesn't discriminate. Every week, 12 young, otherwise healthy people in the UK lose their lives to sudden cardiac death. Knowing CPR costs nothing. Not knowing it can cost everything.
